In a pavilion and waterside terrace.
The Prince of Zhennan was having a detailed conversation with a woman of exceptionally tall stature.
The woman was eight feet tall, with legs at least five feet long. She was very slender, dressed in phoenix armor, and had a flawless oval face with a touch of heroic spirit.
"Yunyun, this incident of qi deviation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you. How are your preparations?" the Prince of Zhennan asked solemnly.
The tall woman, Yun Yun, nodded: "Uncle, rest assured, Yun Yun is all prepared."
"That's good. His Majesty has been in seclusion for over a hundred years, but has yet to break through to the demigod realm. The chances are probably slim. So you must prepare early. If His Majesty fails in his seclusion and something goes wrong, your brothers will definitely make their move first and fight for the throne."
“I understand, so I plan to use this incident of demonic possession to restore the Demon Suppression Division to power. My brothers all control their respective departments with real power, but I, as a woman, was assigned to the Demon Suppression Division, which exists in name only. With gods overseeing the Nine Provinces, there are very few demonic disturbances on ordinary days, and the Demon Suppression Division has become a powerless department. But this incident of demonic possession has given the Demon Suppression Division a chance to rise again!”
A hint of appreciation flashed in the eyes of the Prince of Zhennan: "Not bad. This incident is a good opportunity to revitalize the Demon Suppression Division and cultivate your own team. However, you must remember that your brothers will not sit idly by while you take power. If anything goes wrong, you may end up benefiting others."
Yun Yun nodded, then suddenly asked, "Uncle, is Zhou Qingfeng really so incredibly resourceful?"
Mentioning Zhou Qingfeng, the Prince of Zhennan's expression darkened slightly: "Although this man is crude and bloodthirsty, his ability to deduce the secrets of heaven is indeed not weak. The list of people he provided to me before has not yet shown any flaws."
“A few shortcomings are nothing. As long as this person has real skills, that’s enough. Since he can calculate so accurately, the Demon Suppression Division will have to rely on him in the future. If he can predict all the cultivators who are about to go astray, then our Demon Suppression Division can take precautions in advance and protect the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty. Such merit is enough for me, a woman, to compete with my brothers!” A determined look flashed in Yun Yun’s long and charming eyes.
"Yunyun, your idea is good, but remember, you must never place all your hopes on one person. No matter how accurate Zhou Qingfeng's calculations are, he is not a god and will definitely make mistakes. The people in the court will not remember how great your achievements are, but will seize on any small mistake you make."
Furthermore, I have already sent people to investigate Zhou Qingfeng's background. This man is not from the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty; his origins are mysterious, as if he appeared out of thin air. I even suspect that his name is fake. Such people of unknown origin can be used, but we must be very careful.
Clearly, Fang Xiu left a very bad impression on the Prince of Zhennan, so much so that the Prince was on guard against him at all times.
Yun Yun nodded: "I understand what Uncle means. Although we need to rely on Zhou Qingfeng to make predictions in the future, I can't completely trust what he says. I have already made plans for this. I have contacted Master Tianwen in advance and asked him to come out of seclusion and lend me a hand."
The Prince of Zhennan was slightly surprised: "Master Tianwen? You actually managed to invite him."
"Although Master Tianwen is renowned and his divinations are extremely rare, he has a fatal weakness: lust. It is said that before he became famous, he was a swindler who often cheated people out of money and sex in the marketplace. Once, he was exposed and was chased by many people. In order to escape the pursuit, he accidentally jumped off a cliff, but ended up obtaining the inheritance of an ancient divination master. From then on, he transformed into a true divination master."
"After becoming a master of divination, although he no longer cheats people out of money and sex, he still finds it hard to resist beautiful women, so it wasn't difficult for me to ask him to come out of seclusion," Yun Yun said calmly.
The Prince of Zhennan's expression immediately changed: "Yunyun, you are a princess, the future emperor of the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty, how could you...?"
"Uncle, rest assured, Yun Yun is determined to become the first empress of the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty, so she would never do such a despicable thing. I just subtly hinted to Master Tianwen, and he obediently took the bait. It may also be related to my figure. Most men prefer petite and delicate women and are somewhat averse to tall women like me. However, Master Tianwen has seen countless women and all kinds of beauties, but he has never seen anyone like me. In addition, there is my status, so he took the bait willingly."
"I know his thoughts very well. He simply wants to become my ally, to be with me day and night, and then enjoy the feeling of conquering me once I become empress. Most men are like that." Yun Yun analyzed calmly, as if she had already seen through such things.
The Prince of Zhennan was somewhat embarrassed, after all, he was also a man.
Yun Yun seemed to sense the awkwardness of the Prince of Zhennan, and did not continue on this topic. Instead, she spoke of her plan: "I plan to establish the position of Inspector in the Demon Suppression Division, to supervise all cultivators in the world and take precautions against those who show signs of demonic possession."
The Prince of Zhennan's heart skipped a beat: "Was this specially set up for Master Tianwen?"
Yun Yun nodded: "That's right. Master Tianwen has been famous for a long time and has never made a mistake since his debut. In terms of seniority and status, he is better than Zhou Qingfeng, who has an unknown background. Of course, the most important thing is that Master Tianwen is lustful. This is his desire. People can control their desires."
But Zhou Qingfeng… I’ve never met him, but I’ve heard a lot about his deeds from you, Uncle. He’s a ruthless killer, utterly cruel and uncontrollable. No one knows what he really wants. However, given that he is indeed very capable, I plan to appoint him as the Deputy Inspector.”
The Prince of Zhennan looked thoughtful: "This move is probably not appropriate. Zhou Qingfeng doesn't seem like the kind of person who would submit to someone else. He is arrogant and may not be willing to submit to Master Tianwen. If a conflict arises between the two, it will inevitably lead to other princes taking advantage of the situation."
Yun Yun thought for a moment and said, "To deal with this kind of arrogant person, we need to let him know that there are always people more talented than him. I can arrange for Master Tianwen to compete with him. As long as Master Tianwen wins, he won't say anything."
"Yes, that's a good move. By the way, when you invited Master Tianwen this time, did you inquire about the source of the qi deviation?"
"Of course I asked."
"What did Master Tianwen say?"
"Master Tianwen had foreseen this matter long ago. He said that this is the cycle of heaven and the retribution of cause and effect. The Liuyun Immortal Dynasty was built on the bones of the previous dynasty and committed too many killings. After thousands of years of brewing, these killings finally formed the calamity that the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty is facing today."
The Prince of Zhennan was taken aback: "Does Master Tianwen mean that the recent incident of demonic possession in the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty is actually a sign of impending doom?"
